While a lot of what we love about solar is intangible, ultimately hard numbers need to work for projects to make sense. This is why we so appreciate hearing from customers with real data about how their system has performed in reality compared to our projections.

Peter first discovered that replacing some lights and an older computer netted almost an 11% annual savings on power use. Then, with the solar kicked on, he was able to eliminate his bill completely for some months of the year, and knock it down an average of $136/mo, or $1,631 annually.

Peter also went through a pretty thorough analysis of the investment opportunity presented by solar. Using a fairly conservative rate of 2% electric rate increases measured alongside a modest residual trade-in value for the panels, Peter posited an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) more than double that of treasury bonds:

For more details on on Peter’s system performance (or energy savings gained by downsizing Mac computers!), see his in-depth blog here: http://save-like-a-mainer.blogspot.com/. Thanks so much, Peter, for collecting the data, sorting through it, and letting us share it.
